Just giving this sucker a bump because I recently started blazing again and have soared through season 2 of this show for probably the 10th or 11th time, it's just so awesomely epic. And yes I know LotGH did the whole smart/thinking war anime thing first.

Unfortunately, his partner isn't successful in preventing the detective from committing suicide. However, the invisible cyborg that used to work with them was able to. So after that, the three of them travel to the mastermind of the entire scheme using their philosophizing artificially intelligent mini-tanks that has been brought back from the dead for a second time to shut down the whole child-kidnapping scheme they were investigating down. But first they need to get past the giant gun toting robot guards outside of the place.....

So now we get to see tanks & cyborg vs. robots.

Anime. Its awesome. This is a partial synopsis of Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society by the way.

I still enjoy Dragon Ball. I haven't had time in a while to just set back and watch a new anime series. A lot of the cultural tropes really irk me more than they used to. I'm not sure why. They just seem expected now in a lot of the stories regardless of what the genre actually is for the specific anime. But it is what it is.

I haven't watched Cowboy Bebop in a long time. The entire series. I'd like to do that again. That was one of my favorite shows in the early 2000's, and the English dubbing wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Although this time around I'd like to see the original Japanese version.

That reminds me, I would love to get the Dragon Box, which has been out for two years. It's basically the hardcore original Japanese version of Dragon Ball in it's entirety (Dragon Ball Z side of the series I should say). But the Dragon Box volumes had a limited run and they are skyrocketing on eBay. I have the original manga of the entire series which is nice because there isn't any filler within the context of the story, but the original BGM music is priceless and fits the show so well, combined with the original voice actors for the show. Maybe one day once I have enough money.

LOVE Berserk, its messed up to high heaven, but it is amazing. Gurren Lagann is also amazing. Fate/Stay Night is really good as well. Rurouni Kenshin will always have a special spot in my heart as one of my personal favorites.

You mean Dragon Ball Kai? I tried watching the first couple of episodes and there was still some unnecessary filler that turned me off. Really I wasn't a fan of the changes. I've come to terms that the original anime of Dragon Ball is what it is and it's good in it's own way and I prefer it in it's original form which is why I'd like to get my hands on the Dragon Box volumes one day. I'm actually more excited for the brand new Dragon Ball movie being released next year, even though I don't think a new Dragon Ball movie is necessary.

So...did anyone get the Dragon Box? I'm getting it now and it's over 60 gigs. It's basically the entire duration of Dragonball Z in it's original Japanese format. It comes with English subs and audio (if you want to listen to the English subs oy), but not the music. Basically this sums it all up. Nice comment taken from another site from a random source.

This is by far the best Dragon Ball Z torrent I've ever seen, very likely the best ever period due to the fact I'm very confident I have seen all that are worth seeing. The Dragon Boxes are the best quality Dragon Ball Z has ever been released in, I've owned them all in the past and don't see an difference in quality from those dvd sets and the files in this torrent, they are identical to me. DBZ was released on blu ray, but I don't think they even released half of the series before it was cancelled, I can't really comment on the quality of them compared to the Dragon Boxes, but the fact so many episodes were unreleased in that format it seems pretty irrelevant how good or bad the quality of them was. The funimation orange brick season sets of DBZ were ****, they just were, the picture was bright and washed out, whole sections of the picture was cut off in the cropping of 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9. The dragon boxes were remastered in such a way that it did the legendary series justice, it literally couldn't look any better, while keeping it in 4:3 aspect ratio because of the simple fact it's a 4:3 series and it's not going to enhance the quality any by stretching it out. Took me a total of 80 hours to download this torrent, I would have been fine if it took twice as long because this truly is the best Dragon Ball Z anime torrent on the internet right now, very possible the best there ever will be.

If you are a hardcore Dragon Ball Z purist, you must own/acquire this. It was a limited release, so owning hard copies at this point would be expensive and hard to find each installment since it's been a few years since it's release. Obviously there are other ways. Just saying, keep a lookout.
